NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Adino Energy Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Adino Energy Corporation’s Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,674,971 and retained deficit of $16,183,862. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain funding for its working capital deficit.  The Company believes that the current cash flow and planned increase in operations are adequate to satisfy the working capital deficit.  Certain officers and directors have agreed in writing to postpone payment if necessary should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals. Lastly, the Company plans to grow through merger and acquisition opportunities including the expansion of existing business opportunities. The Company expects these growth opportunities to be financed through a combination of equity and debt capital; however, in the event the Company is unable to obtain additional debt and equity financing, the Company may not be able to continue its operations.

NOTE 3 - LEASE COMMITMENTS
 
On April 1, 2007, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Intercontinental Fuels LLC (“IFL”) agreed to lease a bulk fuel terminal from 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC for 18 months at $15,000 per month. The lease contained an option to purchase the terminal for $3.55 million by September 30, 2008. The Company evaluated this lease and determined that it qualified as a capital lease for accounting purposes.  The terminal was capitalized at $3,179,572, calculated using the present value of monthly rent at $15,000 for the months April 2007 – September 2008 and the final purchase price of $3.55 million discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 12.75%.  The terminal was depreciated over its useful life of 15 years resulting in monthly depreciation expense of $17,664.
 
Due to the difficult credit markets, the Company was unable to secure financing for the purchase of the Houston terminal facility and assigned its rights to purchase the terminal to Lone Star Fuel Storage and Transfer, LLC (“Lone Star”).  Lone Star purchased the terminal from 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC on September 30, 2008.  Lone Star then entered into a five year operating lease with option to purchase with the Company.  The five-year lease has monthly rental payments of $30,000, escalating 3% per year.  The Company’s purchase option allowed for the terminal to be purchased at any time prior to October 1, 2009 for $7,775,552.  The sale price escalates $1,000,000 per year after this date, through the lease expiration date of September 30, 2013.  The Company recognizes the escalating lease payments on a straight line basis.
 
The Lone Star lease was evaluated and deemed to be an operating lease.

The transactions that led to the above two leases both resulted in gains to the Company.  The lease with 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC was the result of a lawsuit settlement and led to a gain to the Company of $1,480,383.  The Company amortized this gain over the life of the capital asset, or 15 years.   At the expiration of the capital lease, September 30, 2008, the remaining gain of $1,332,345 was rolled into the gain on the sale assignment transaction with Lone Star of $624,047.  The total remaining gain to be amortized as of September 30, 2008 of $1,956,392 will be amortized over the life of the Lone Star operating lease, or 60 months, through September 30, 2013.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized gain from lawsuit of $97,819, with year to date gain recognition of $293,458.  This treatment is consistent with sale leaseback gain recognition.

NOTE 4 – NOTES RECEIVABLE
 
On March 2, 2009, the Company agreed to extend the maturity date on the $750,000 note receivable with Mr. Sundlun.  The note receivable from Mr. Sundlun matured on November 6, 2008.  The Company extended the note’s maturity date to August 8, 2011, with no additional interest accrual to occur past November 6, 2008.  Due to the fact that there will be no interest accrued on the note going forward, the Company recorded a discount on the note principal of $179,671.  This amount will amortize until the note’s maturity in August 2011.  The unamortized note discount balance at September 30, 2009 is $128,905.

NOTE 6 – STOCK

COMMON STOCK

The Company's common stock has a par value of $0.001. At December 31, 2008, there were 500,000,000 shares authorized and 83,260,579 shares outstanding.

In February 2009, the Company awarded the members of the Board of Directors shares of restricted stock for their services.  Both Messrs. Byrd and Wooley were awarded 1,500,000 shares each and Ms. Behrens was awarded 500,000 shares.  This resulted in an expense to the Company of $52,500.

On March 20, 2009, the Board approved a stock issuance of 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to Stuart Sundlun for consulting services.  This issuance resulted in an expense to the Company of $19,000.

As of May 1, 2009, the Company settled all claims with all parties in the lawsuit known as Adino Energy Corporation v. CapNet Securities Corporation, et. al.   In the settlement, the Company issued 4,500,000 shares of restricted common stock to CapNet Securities Corporation and 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock to CapNet Risk Management.  All shares issued are to be restricted until January 1, 2012.  Starting January 1, 2012 and in every six month period thereafter, no more than 250,000 of the CapNet Risk Management shares and no more than 1,000,000 of the CapNet Securities Corporation shares may be released for sale.  The Company paid no cash to any involved party as a result of the settlement.  The Company realized a gain of $7,896 on the transaction.

As a result of the above common stock issuances, as of September 30, 2009 there were 93,260,579 shares outstanding.

NOTE 7 - STOCK OPTIONS / STOCK WARRANTS

In September 2007, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Small Cap Support Services, Inc. (“Small Cap”) to provide investor relations services.  In addition to monthly compensation, Small Cap is entitled to 500,000 options, vesting ratably over 8 quarters, through August 30, 2009, priced at 166,667 shares at $0.15, $0.25, and $0.35, each.   Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected life of 3.5 years, volatility of 271%, and a discount rate of 4.53%, the Company has determined the aggregate value of the 500,000 seven year options to be $59,126.  The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $7,391 and $14,782 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

In addition to monthly compensation, Ms. Finney is entitled to 500,000 options, vesting over 24 months as certain milestones are met, priced at $0.10 each. Using the Black-Scholes valuation model and an expected life of 2.5 years, volatility of 277%, and a discount rate of 4.16%, the Company has determined the aggregate value of the 500,000 five year options to be $24,044.  Of this amount, $7,213 was recorded as stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE 10 – RESTATEMENT OF QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

The Company has restated its quarterly financial statements from amounts previously reported for periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2008.  The Company has determined that there was an error in the amortization of the gain of $1,480,383 resulting from the lawsuit settlement dated March 2007.  The gain was initially amortized over the life of the capital lease with 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, LLC, or 18 months.  The Company determined that the gain should have been amortized over the life of the leased asset, or 15 years.  The restated financial statements were initially presented in the December 31, 2008 Form 10-K.  This filing includes the restated consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, and the restated consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and related notes thereto included in this quarterly report and in our audited consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain statements in the following MD&A are forward looking statements. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company continues to lease the terminal at 17617 Aldine Westfield Road, Houston, Texas from Lone Star Fuel Storage and Transport, LLC (“Lone Star”).  Utilizing a fuel storage and throughput model, revenues continue to remain strong.

Revenue:  Revenue generated in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $533,998 compared to $494,059 in 2008.  Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,524,985 and $1,504,499, respectively, a year to date increase of 1%.  The new customer contracts signed in February and August 2009 and increased throughput volume at the Houston terminal have partially offset the Company’s reduced consulting revenue.

Cost of Product Sales:  Additive expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $100,374 and $89,787, respectively, for an increase of $10,587. For the nine months ended September 30, expense has increased 19% from $297,844 in 2008 to $355,868 in 2009.  As fuel passes through the rack, it is blended with various fuel additives.   The increase results from increased throughput at the IFL terminal, requiring additional additive volume.

Terminal Management:  Expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $99,990 and $300,990, compared to $107,500 and $318,500 for the same periods in 2008.  The Company realized a slight decrease in the monthly terminal expense due to personnel changes.

General and Administrative Expense: Expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $129,245 and $396,034, respectively, compared to $36,868 and $110,771 for the same periods in 2008, resulting in a year to date increase of $285,263 or 357%.  The increase is almost wholly due to rent expense at the Houston terminal of $286,686 for the nine months ended 2009.  In September 2008, the Company began an operating lease on the terminal facility at 17617 Aldine Westfield Road in Houston, Texas with Lone Star, resulting in monthly rent expense of $31,854.   Prior to September 2008, the terminal was under a capital lease and did not recognize rent expense.

Legal and Professional Expense:  Legal and professional expense was $36,992 and $114,569 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.   Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $129,102 and $235,284, respectively, a decrease of $106,182 or 45%.  These expenses were higher in 2008 due to increased auditing fees associated with the Company’s restatement of its 2007 financial statements.  Additionally, the Company recognized significant closing costs and legal expenses with the Lone Star transaction in September 2008.

Consulting Expense: Expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $127,058 and $599,239, respectively, compared to $171,725 and $393,727 for the same periods in 2008, resulting in a year to date increase of $205,512 or 52%.  In the first quarter of 2009, the Company incurred stock issuance expense to the Board of Directors and Mr. Sundlun totaling $71,500.  Additionally, during the second quarter of 2009, the Board granted additional compensation to Adino’s officers and controller totaling $148,907.

Repairs:   The Company’s repair expense has drastically decreased from 2008 to 2009.  Expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $602 and $5,994, respectively.  Repairs necessary on the Houston terminal have primarily been covered by the terminal management contract during 2009.

10

 
Depreciation Expense:  The Company recorded depreciation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $9,629 and $179,445, respectively, a decrease of $169,816, or 95%.  The Company operated the Houston terminal under a capital lease until September 2008.  As the capital lease was terminated in 2008, only vehicles and leasehold improvements are depreciated going forward, accounting for the sharp decrease in depreciation expense.

Operating Supplies:  The Company’s operating supplies expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $7,656 and $8,264, respectively.  Costs remain relatively consistent, primarily due to the fact that the terminal management contract allows for most operating supplies to be included in the monthly terminal management fee, thereby containing costs.

Interest Income:  Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $16,923 and $18,894, respectively.  Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $49,141 and $56,698, respectively.  As of November 2008, the Company no longer recognizes monthly interest income of $6,250 from the note receivable with Mr. Sundlun, as explained in Note 4 of the Company’s financial statements.  The income from 2009 results from amortization of the note discount with Mr. Sundlun and interest income recognized on the note receivable with Fuel Streamers.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $42,391 and $190,517, respectively.  Expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $124,828 and $493,478, respectively, a year to date decrease of $368,650.  The decrease results primarily from the expiration of the capital lease on the terminal located at 17617 Aldine Westfield Road in Houston, Texas, at September 30, 2008.  The Company continues to recognize expense on the note payable with Mr. Sundlun.

Gain (Loss) from Stock Valuation:  As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a significant stock payable outstanding due to inadequate authorized capital.  In January 2008, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment increasing the amount of authorized shares and the Company subsequently issued shares to satisfy all outstanding stock payables.  For the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss of $279,212.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a loss of $64,072.   The Company had no stock payable issuance activity for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009.
 
Gain from Lawsuit/Lease Settlement:  The lawsuit settlement on March 23, 2007 resulted in a gain to the Company of $1,480,383.  The transaction was deemed to be a sale/leaseback, and therefore the gain was recognized over the life of the capitalized asset, 15 years. On September 30, 2008, the Company assigned its rights to purchase the IFL terminal to Lone Star.  As of this date, the unamortized gain from the lawsuit was $1,332,345.  The Company’s transaction with Lone Star resulted in an additional gain of $624,047.  These amounts, totaling $1,956,392, will be amortized over the 60 month life of the Lone Star operating lease, resulting in a gain of $32,606 per month.  See Note 3 of the Company’s financial statements for more information regarding these transactions. Additionally, the Company recognized a gain from the lawsuit settlement with CapNet Securities Corporation of $7,896.  See Note 3 of the Company’s financial statements for a more detailed explanation of this gain.
 
Net Income (Loss):  As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized a net income of $109,023 and a net loss of $515,991 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  The Company had net losses of $42,563 and  $472,163 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents were $162,212, compared to $30,228 at December 31, 2008.  Cash flow has been an ongoing concern for the Company due to the large amount of legacy liabilities that Adino accumulated in the years in which it was a non-operating entity. These liabilities will likely continue to be a drag on the Company’s financial statements unless and until Adino obtains financing that allows us to pay off these liabilities.

Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2009 was $2,674,971 compared to $2,574,021 at December 31, 2008. The Company believes that the current cash flow and planned increase in operations are adequate to satisfy the working capital deficit.  Certain officers and directors have agreed in writing to postpone payment if necessary should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals. Lastly, the Company plans to grow through merger and acquisition opportunities including the expansion of existing business opportunities. The Company expects these growth opportunities to be financed through a combination of equity and debt capital; however, in the event the Company is unable to obtain additional debt and equity financing, the Company may not be able to pursue these opportunities or continue its operations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash provided by operating activities was $103,641 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $22,921 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in cash provided during 2009 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable collections and a drastically decreased year to date net loss.

RISK FACTORS

The market price of the Company's common stock has fluctuated significantly since it began to be publicly traded and may continue to be highly volatile. Factors such as the ability of the Company to achieve development goals, the ability of the Company to compete in the petroleum distribution industry, the ability of the Company to raise additional funds, general market conditions and other factors affecting the Company's business that are beyond the Company's control may cause significant fluctuations in the market price of the Company's common stock. Such market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price for the Company's common stock.

As of September 30, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficit of $2,674,971 and retained deficit of $16,183,862. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain funding for its working capital deficit.  The Company believes that the current cash flow and planned increase in operations are adequate to satisfy the working capital deficit.  Certain officers and directors have agreed in writing to postpone payment if necessary should the Company need capital it would otherwise pay these individuals. Lastly, the Company plans to grow through merger and acquisition opportunities including the expansion of existing business opportunities. The Company expects these growth opportunities to be financed through a combination of equity and debt capital; however, in the event the Company is unable to obtain additional debt and equity financing, the Company may not be able to pursue these opportunities or continue its operations.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. We performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Changes in internal controls. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.
